Socialise with those of a higher status (6)

I believe the answer is:

hobnob

(Other definitions for hobnob that I've seen before include "Chat with" , "Associate socially with superiors" , "random" , "Socialise together, rub elbows with" , "Socialise informally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
